I just spent 3 hours taking pictures and listing parts for sale. I have about come to the conclusion that if the part does not sell for at least $15 it is not worth my time. So i spent 3 hours listing stuff, now i have to hunt boxes, hunt packing, buy tape, pack the boxes, address the boxes, and take them to the post office. what a big PITA :oops:

now i am going to have to answer 500 emails asking if it will fit this or that and if i will make some package deal and basically give it all away, :D i wish AT&T could reach out and slap those idiots :D

Just to make your life easier I'm willing to buy every R part you got for $250 shipped. That way you would only have to find 1 box. ;)

Damn, try to do a guy a favor and save him the time for looking for boxes and he calls me an idiot. :D

I just want that swinger axle assembly, but I'm scared I might have to cash in my retirement fund to buy it.

LOL, i saw you bid on it. Jen bid on it jsut to get rid of the buy it now. i almost relisted it with a reserve just to put the buy it now back on there. :D i would guess the swinger will go for $250 plus. i sold a stock rear end for $197 a month or so ago.

I have a serious bid in on it. Its all I need to do is to spend another couple hundred on my trike right now. It's been my expereince items with high shipping prices usually bring a lower bid.

What was the "buy it now" price

I think my trike is a damn hypochondriac, it always needs some new parts to keep it healthy.

you have to get above the reserve to make the "buy it now" option go away. i did not use a reserve so the "BIN" went away on the 1st bid. i guess i should have made the 1st bid $200 or so.

it will sell no matter what, i dont need it :D

yea, ebay is a lot of work but you do make money and it does help, as long as it is on the side it is cool. try to space them out, list like only 15-20 items per week, I have been selling for over a year and basically rebuilt my 85 250r ($7,000) off ebay cash. its work but worth it

The part that irks me is the nonpaying bidders that you have to deal with that had no intention of buying your stuff to begin with 8)

Don't forget those idiots are the ones bidding & buying. And most are probably on this site. :)

I can relate! And the "how much will you take to end it now" emails when my auctions clearly state that I dont end auctions early.

Sometimes it's almost a waste between your time and packaging and shipping and answering questions. However when you sell a 250SX rearend for 380$ like I did Sunday - It's all worth it!! :-D
